Steal These 12 Sales Phrases for Your Website Copy
They say your website is your #1 salesperson, pitching your offers while you sleep.
Is your #1 salesperson using the sales tactics that actually sell?
If you aren’t sure, here are 12 phrases you can try in your marketing copy, so you website converts the clients you’re trying to reach.
Why Sales Copy Is Key to Your Website Conversion
At an event I recently attended, one of the speakers handed out a list of phrases from the book Exactly What to Say by Phil M. Jones. It’s a guide designed to help sales professionals know, well, exactly what to say during a pitch.
While the book is built around live conversations, the principles translate seamlessly into written communication. And they really are powerful.
As a conversion copywriter, I know strong sales copy is key to a successful website.
It guides someone to making the right decision. It moves readers into the right mindset before they ever click “buy.”
If your website is your top salesperson, it should be using the language that actually sells. But what does that looks like in action?
